Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt. I am by no means a spammer; I send an average of 40 mails a day, most replies to enquiries and regular day-to-day correspondence.Worrying about being mistaken for a spammer is more than watchmaker's perfectionism when I see that the spam scores of messages I sent from myself to myself as a test are around 5.8, whereas the default threshold on Mailsnare is 7. That means my mails (replies to enquiries - not spam!) are very close to being mistaken for spam - a worrying possibility given that my average sale is ca $35,000. I use mailsnare.net and runbox.com services to send and receive my messages. My domains have a catchall that redirects (forwards) at DNS level (dnspark.net is my DNS host) all mails to my Mailsnare and Runbox boxes. I have performed tests sending emails from one of my domains using OE6, either by Mailsnare or Runbox SMTP, to another of my domains. Messages received by Mailsnare arrive with the following X-Spam-Status: No, hits=5.892 tagged_above=3 required=9 tests=BAYES_00, MSGID_DOLLARS, PRIORITY_NO_NAME, RATWARE_OUTLOOK_NONAME, SPF_PASS Messages received by Runbox arrive with the following X-Spam-Status: No, score=4.3 required=5.0 tests=MSGID_DOLLARS, PRIORITY_NO_NAME autolearn=disabled version=3.0.3 I have also tried to send a message via Mailsnare's webmail interface and it scored 0:X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.0 required=5.0 tests=none autolearn=disabled version=3.0.3Also messages sent from my domains directly to my Mailsnare and Runbox addresses score 0. So it would seem I have a problem with my Outlook Express or other Explorer settings, which, when used together with mail forward ("Mail guiding" as called by DNSPark) trigger these Spamassassin filters. I am not really willing to swap OE for another client, but I'd prefer to know how to avoid these potential problems. Any ideas?
Looks like something is stripping your X-Mailer header.
